The house next door to ours has lots of beautiful heavy hydrangeas spilling over the front fence. I've been admiring them for a while now- some are pink, some are blue and some are creamy-green in colour.
They inspired me to make a headband to wear to a wedding we attended last weekend- for which I'd bought a new grey silk dress. I made my headband from a piece of black velvet ribbon, with a small bit of elastic to attach it into a circle. Then I sewed lots of little hydrangea petals on to it, cut from wool felt. A few days later I fulfilled Keira's request for her own version- except hers has white hydrangea petals sewn on to a green ribbon. Also useful for keeping unruly summer hair under control (both hers and mine..)
